[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If school safety was the utmost concern, we would have buses that weren't outdated by the school board'so own standards. 
Despite record snow fall, Boston had more school than we did. Do they care about their kids less? I don't think so. But, they do place a higher priority on providing an education than FCPS does. 
Wanting an education for one's child has nothing to do with daycare. Having school open during the school year is the best way to provide the best education we can and should offer our children. [/quote]

We know that throwing money at a problem does not fix it, see DCPS.  Does that necessarily mean that restricting money spent on a problem will fix it?

IOW, the buses are a huge problem, and they are expensive.  We need to give FCPS lots more money to hire more teachers to create smaller classes, and to buy lots of new buses.[/quote]

Sigh......

It's not the buses.  Buses work fine in the kind of weather we have here.  Look at the Metro buses and the bang buses to the casinos.  They all start and run fine.  Maybe the maintenance sux, but that means replace the maintenance manager, not buy more buses. (I maintain a fleet of buses and if they didn't start every day in the winter I'd be gone).

We do need more teachers, They don't need more money, they just need to reduce bureaucrats and replace them with classroom teachers.  More teachers, less bureaucracy, Win..Win![/quote]
